If It Wasn't For The Reason That I Love You

[Verse 1]
Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're going
Wonder what you do
Without me

[Verse 2]
A telephone call from a friend I know
Left me feeling bitter
Left me feeling so unhappy

'Cause if you couldn't wait for 24 hours
What good would telegrams and flowers do

[Chorus]
If it wasn't for the reason
That I love you baby
I wouldn't have another thing
To say to you

[Verse 3]
Might as well stay
For a day or two
Find another friend
And have a drink or two
To pass the time

[Verse 4]
Talking over troubles
In a whiskey daze
A little drop of cognac
Helps a man to face the lonely times

'Cause it's sad being home
And I've given up trying
I've got no lyin'
That I want to do

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
Wish I could find a way
Make up the words to say
You cheated and you lied
You took away the little pride
I had inside

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]

[Verse 2]

[Verse 4]

[Verse 5]
